How to fix?

Upgrade mpg123 to version 1.25.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The III_i_stereo function in libmpg123/layer3.c in mpg123 through 1.25.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file that is mishandled in the code for the "block_type != 2" case, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9870.
